Chapter 98: Transmigrating into "A Step into the Past"
Time and space change.
In the State of Zhao, there was a remote market town.
Gu Yu, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, walked slowly through the market.
Today, we are in the Warring States period, a time of fierce competition among the states of Qin, Wei, Han, Zhao, Chu, Yan, and Qi. However, this is not actual history, but rather the world of "A Step into the Past".
Not far ahead, they came across a group of people selling horses.
This group of people were not from the Central Plains, but were Baiyi people, whose members made a living by hunting, raising horses, and selling horses.
Compared to the people of the Central Plains, the Baiyi people were generally tall and strong, with fair skin and well-defined features.
Several Baiyi women stood by the stable. As soon as Gu Yu walked over, they made no attempt to hide their flirtatious glances and even pouted their lips as if to kiss him.
It's no wonder they're infatuated.
Now, Gu Yu has mastered the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" and the "Yi Jin Jin". Both of these divine skills have the effect of changing tendons and marrow, making his figure taller and more upright, with full muscles and well-proportioned bones. He looks more and more imposing and extraordinary.
These Baiyi women were all dressed in short tops and skirts, revealing their full breasts, which were almost half-exposed, as well as their long and slender legs, making them look exceptionally sexy and hot.
Gu Yu whistled at the Bai Yi women and continued on his way.
He had only recently arrived here and needed to familiarize himself with and adapt to the environment.
"Let me go, let me go—"
Suddenly, a woman's scream reached my ears.
Gu Yu turned his head and saw seven or eight men grinning and groping a woman.
It's a rule that as soon as the main character appears, a beautiful woman will always be there to ask for help.
The leader was named Jiao Du, a notorious local thug who, relying on his brute strength and a gang of brothers, often swaggered around the market, bullying the people.
Gu Yu cracked his knuckles and strode forward.
"stop!"
This shout, like a thunderclap, attracted the attention of many people.
Jiao Du and the others were taken aback and quickly moved over.
"Hey kid, who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business!"
"Bang!"
Too lazy to answer, Gu Yu kicked Jiao Du, sending him flying and coughing up blood.
The other men were startled, and then, one by one, they charged at Gu Yu with murderous intent, brandishing their weapons.
"Bang bang bang—"
'
In just a few breaths, before those around could even see what happened, seven or eight men had already fallen into pools of blood.
"Impressive skills!"
Among the onlookers, a man in his forties, dressed in fine clothes, couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer.
"Thank you very much, brother!"
Gu Yu nodded to the other person and then turned to leave.
Actually, he was playing hard to get.
His actions were not only to teach Jiao Du and the others a lesson, but also to show off his skills and attract the man's attention.
Since he had transmigrated to the world of "A Step into the Past", he needed to find a starting point, and this man was his starting point for transmigrating to this world.
Sure enough, the other party called out, "Brave warrior, please wait!"
"What can I do for you, sir?"
The other party cupped his hands and said, "I am Tao Fang, one of the twelve head servants under Master Wu Bao. You may not know my name, but you should have heard of the Wu family of Handan."
Gu Yu feigned a look of sudden realization: "The Master Wu Shi Luo you mentioned, could he be the foremost livestock king of Zhao?"
Tao Fang laughed and said, "Indeed! You are a very skilled warrior. May I ask where you are from?"
"I live in the nearby mountains and make a living by hunting."
Tao Fang continued, "To be honest, I'm in dire need of a skilled fighter like you. If you're willing to follow me, I'll certainly treat you well."
Gu Yu subconsciously looked around.
It seems that Xiang Shaolong won't be showing up?
That would be best.
Soon after, Gu Yu accompanied Tao Fang to a campsite near the market.
Although it was a temporary camp, it was quite large, with thirty tents of various sizes and more than a hundred guards.
In addition, there were dozens of beautiful women and more than 300 strong horses that had been purchased.
"Manager Tao!"
As soon as I entered the tent, a middle-aged man came forward to greet me.
Tao Fang smiled and introduced, "This is the guard captain, Dou Liang, and this is a brother I just recruited, named Gu Yu."
"Captain Dou, nice to meet you. Please take care of me."
Gu Yu greeted him with a smile.
Dou Liang snorted, looking indifferent.
Gu Yu was too lazy to argue with him.
Because he knew in his heart that this guy wouldn't live past three chapters.
As evening approached, Gu Yu, having nothing to do, strolled around the camp.
"Shh~sh~"
As we passed a grove of trees, two hissing sounds came from within.
Gu Yu turned his head and saw that it was a Bai Yi woman he had seen in the market smiling at him.
So Gu Yu quickly walked into the woods.
This Baiyi woman was very beautiful, tall, and with her breasts half-exposed, they could be described as enormous.
A pair of shapely, long legs were revealed beneath the short skirt, making them exceptionally eye-catching.
Her waist was incredibly slim, which accentuated the stunning curves of her hips, giving her an overall fiery and wild beauty.
"I was still thinking about how to get into the camp to find you, but I didn't expect you to come out here."
Gu Yu didn't stand on ceremony at all, pulling her into his arms and reaching his wet hand towards her plump buttocks.
While taking advantage of the situation, he asked in a serious tone, "What do you want from me?"
"She likes you."
Women at this time were generally more open-minded because it was an era of diverse schools of thought, and there were not so many worldly and ethical constraints.
In comparison, Baiyi women are more cheerful, direct, and passionate.
Before Gu Yu could finish speaking, she added, "You are a brave warrior, come back to Baiyi Mountain with me."
"I'm afraid that won't work. I've already promised Steward Tao that I would go to Handan with him, and one cannot go back on one's word."
The Baiyi woman said urgently, "You can't go. I came to you specifically for this. I can't bear to see you killed by bandits."
"Bandits?"
"A few days ago, our people received news that Greybeard and his eight hundred bandits were planning to ambush the Zhao people in Dashi Valley and steal their women and horses. If you go with them, you'll die."
Gu Yu kissed her on the lips and smiled, "It's alright, I have a way to handle it."
Upon hearing this, the Baiyi woman sighed, "Alright, but you must be very careful."
Gu Yu sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you for telling me such important news."
"So how are you going to thank them?"
Gu Yu did not answer, but showed his feelings through his actions.
As darkness fell, the Baiyi woman's reluctant voice finally came from the woods: "My name is Xiuyi. Could you tell me your name?"
"My name is Gu Yu. Don't worry, we'll definitely meet again in the future."
After a while, Gu Yu returned to the camp looking refreshed. He found Tao Fang, called him aside to a secluded spot, and whispered a few words to him.
"what?"
Tao Fang looked shocked.
After a while, he said with a look of relief, "Fortunately, that Baiyi woman told you the news."
"Steward Tao, is Dashigu the only way back to Handan?"
Tao Fang shook his head: "We're not going straight back to Handan; we'll be buying horses and beautiful women along the way—"
At this point, his expression suddenly changed: "I understand now. There must be a traitor among my men, otherwise Graybeard would never have guessed our route."
"So how many people actually know the route?"
Tao Fang thought for a moment and said, "There are only five, but I've already guessed who it is. It must be Dou Liang. He's the only one who's left these past few days. Besides, he's from Wei, and people from Wei are never reliable."
"Since the Wei people are unreliable, why did Steward Tao still appoint him as captain?"
Tao Fang smiled bitterly, "Back then, I only chose him because he was skilled; he was the strongest among all the guards, so I had no other choice. I just never expected that he would actually betray me."
After exchanging a few words, Tao Fang stared intently at Gu Yu, his face grave, and said, "Brother, can I trust you?"
'
Gu Yu laughed and said, "Could it be that Steward Tao wants me to kill Dou Liang?"
How confident are you?
Gu Yu pretended to think for a moment, then replied, "Seventy or eighty percent."
He naturally wouldn't easily reveal his trump card; as long as he could kill the opponent, that was enough.
"Excellent!" Tao Fang nodded in satisfaction. "If you can kill Dou Liang, I will promote you to captain of the guards. However, I need Dou Liang to admit it himself, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the others."
Gu Yu smiled and said, "That's simple, we'll do it this way—"
After listening, Tao Fang nodded with a happy expression: "Okay, let's do it that way."
It was late at night.
Gu Yu subconsciously brought up the system interface: [Deep Blue Skill Point System]
Host: Gu Yu Current World: A Step into the Past (Progress 6%)
Fate Points: 2600
Ultimate martial arts techniques: Nine Yang Divine Skill (Ninth Level); Yi Jin Jing (Ninth Level); Lesser Formless Skill (Ninth Level); Great Shift of Heaven and Earth (Seventh Level)
Ultimate Lightness Skill: Lingbo Weibu (Transcendental Realm)
Martial Arts: Limitless Sword (Perfect); Cloud Ladder Leap (Perfect); Flying Flower Palm (Perfect); Dragon Capturing Skill (Perfect); Great Vajra Fist (Perfect)
This time, the system rewarded me with another divine skill, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth from "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
This is a unique martial art originating from the Persian Ming Cult, which can stimulate one's own potential, redirect and shift the opponent's strength, accumulate energy for rebound, transform yin and yang energies, and create weaknesses in the opponent, among other miraculous effects.
This ultimate skill only has seven levels. Gu Yu has already mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill and can easily cultivate it to the seventh level on his own.
However, there is no risk in using Fate Points to upgrade, and he had already accumulated quite a few Fate Points, so he decided to use them to directly upgrade to the maximum level.
Shortly after, Gu Yu left the camp.
At this moment, Dou Liang was still indulging in pleasure in his tent, surrounded by five or six beauties.
These were all beauties bought along the way, more than sixty in total, but they ended up benefiting Dou Liang, who took at least half of them.
This also aroused Tao Fang's dissatisfaction.
However, he has not yet found a suitable replacement for Dou Liang.
If it is confirmed this time that Dou Liang betrayed him, then it's time to settle both the old and new scores.
"Captain Dou, Steward Tao needs to speak with you."
Someone called out from outside the tent.
"Why are you looking for me so late?"
Dou Liang frowned and reluctantly walked out of the tent.
